Rationale for this change
This change simplifies the logic for injecting HTML styles in the
DataFrameHtmlFormatter
class. The previous implementation relied on a class-level_styles_loaded
flag to prevent redundant style injection, which introduced state management complexity and testing challenges. By using a<script>
block that conditionally appends styles based on DOM inspection, this new approach avoids side effects and supports better isolation across render calls and notebook sessions.What changes are included in this PR?
_styles_loaded
flag and associated logic.reset_styles_loaded_state
function and its test usages.Are these changes tested?
Yes, all existing relevant tests have been updated to reflect the new behavior. Assertions now check for presence of the injected script rather than
<style>
tags. This ensures that styles are being correctly applied through the new mechanism.Are there any user-facing changes?
Yes, but minimal:
reset_styles_loaded_state
.<script>
-based style injection, which improves compatibility and reduces potential styling issues across multiple renderings.
